Step 2 — Make the BBQ sauce mix
In a bowl, mix the barbecue sauce, beef broth, and brown sugar.

Step 3 — Slow cook the ribs
Place the ribs in the slow cooker.
Pour the sauce mixture over the ribs, making sure they are fully coated.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours.
Step 4 — Finish with a glaze

Brush extra BBQ sauce on top and broil until the edges get sticky and charred.
